Saint Thomas

Who was he?

He was one of the twelve apostles. The one who doubted that Jesus had truly risen from the dead because he was not there to see him on the first occasion he appeared to the assembled disciples. The next time Jesus appeared Thomas was there and he invited him to put his hand into his side and his finger into the marks of the nails and Thomas then believed and confessed the famous words "My Lord and My God" and Jesus said to him "You believe because you have see Thomas, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
